George,

I'm rarely one to judge, but this doesn't seem like constructive criticism.
Perhaps a sentence or two to back up your one-word claim?

I personally always see my O2 and alternator lights flicker in tandem when
the van is about to stall.  It's an indication, AFAICT, of undervoltage in
the instrument cluster.  I also know the alternator light can come on all by
its lonesome on those cold, cold Michigan mornings when it's idling OK but
the alternator hasn't kicked in yet.
